My first bad weekend
I was out on Saturday night but I had planned for it, Italian so had bruschetta to start with and then a pizza with parmesan, rocket and parma ham, I took as much of the fat off the parma ham as I could, my boyfriend thought I had lost the plot but maybe that little action could have saved me
:p
I had a bottle of red wine then when I got home, I savoured every single glass of it as I have not drank it since I started the plan, did walk home from the restaurant though all uphill
Walked and collected the car on the Sunday but then went out for his mothers birthday, she bought me two glasses of red wine, had not seen her in a couple of months so kinda felt back declining them.
It was pub food so I went with a cheeseburger and chips as to be honest there was nothing on the menu I could see that would be decent or cooked in a SW way.
Right back on track today, trying to get lots of superspeed food into me. Cooked up a big pot of chilli for the week too and treated myself to a new pair of walking runners as I have walked a hole into the other ones.
I am doing good but still feel guilty even though I shouldn't, I had my treat and I got right back on track??0 -
Almost 1 week in and I'm realising just how much processed food I eat
I'm fairly happy with how it's going, finding it a little difficult to get my syns an healthy extra b in every day and I don't want tone eating for the sake of it!
Question for those of you that have been doing this for a while, what do you snack on? Aside from fruits and yogurt and that, I want to find something to have instead if the crisps I used to eat watching a movie! O and tesco have the mullerlights in special, 4 for €2!0 -

My healthy extras would normally be milk and then bread or porridge, if I need to have the two in the one day or milk and cheese in the one day then I syn the cheapest one and use the other as my hex.
I love the rocky road bars from class they are only 3 syns or else Freddo bars 5 syns or a curley wurley for 6 or else a hot chocolate made with skimmed milk 3 syns for 3 heaped tea spoons of Cadbury drinking chocolate but the Hightlights are way less.0 -

In it I would have the treat size bars...caramel, dairy milk etc. I would have one of them and savour every small morsel lol. If I was having one of those days where I wanted more I would have a packet of treat size crisps. I think rancheros were the lowest syns at 4.5 but I know there are others.
That's such a good idea, and if I could have low syn supplies at home it would save me walking around the shop looking like an eejit checking everything on my phone! Thanks, I really appreciate it! First weigh in tonight so I'll see if this sorcery had started to work 0 -

Just so you know any treat food ie. chocolate, buscuits, sweets etc. can be syned by dividing their calorie value by 20, so if a chocolate bar was 100 calories it would work out as 5 syns, no need to consult your phone
My new indulgence food is a plain rice cake with toffee muller light yoghurt spread on top with a sliced banana. Filling, syn free & curbs my sugar craving :cool:0 -

That is so handy to know! My phone can remain in my pocket and I won't be in everyone's way in the shop now! Thank you. Everyone in this thread is so helpful.

It's gas, I never have sweets or chocolate in the house, unless I am on Slimming World yet somehow you would think I wouldn't be fat if I didn't have them in the house!!!
I only pic at them in work when the sweets come in for the bdays

Toffee or vanilla yogurt over a meringue nest - 3 syns, nyom!Down 4lbs this evening
Down 0.5 lbs tonight am in shock! Going to work my ass off this week to maintain that loss.
Staying with my sister this Friday, have told her she is getting a SW cooked meal instead if her cooking and I got a nagon of vodka and slim line tonic so I can be in control.
I am going to Saba on Saturday night - there will be no control
:D:D:D
Gonna get a walk in and not drink so damage limitation, feeling quietly confident!0 -

Stayed the same this week, had an absolutely terrible week so I'm actually delighted. I didn't have a terrible week of just eating crap food, there was days when I didn't have time to eat during the day due to work stuff so I was having a massive dinner in the evening etc.
Feel very motivated for this week that I can lose if I can keep myself on track 0 -

Thanks ladies!
Kinda secretly gutted to be honest, made a real effort on Friday night by cooking dinner for my sister and then she produces 2 bottles of bubbly sure I could hardly say no!
I was out on the Saturday night but wasn't drinking and got straight back on track on the Sunday.
6 birthdays this week in work the amt of sweets is shocking and I laid into the Roses yesterday I just lost all willpower.
I just wish I joined SW earlier and then I would be in a much position now but sure it could be worse I suppose!0 -

I just love walking I do a bit in the morning and then on my way home from work and I add it up on the Runkeeper and it comes to about 5k everyday.
Plus you have the smug feeling when you get home that your walk is done and your evening is all yours 0 -
